Abstract
An improved gate injected, floating gate memory device is described having improved charge retention and endurance characteristics is described in which the barrier height for the injection of charge (electrons or holes) into the floating gate is reduced. This is accomplished by utilizing a layer of semi-insulating polycrystalline silicon between the control electrode and the insulating layer over the floating gate.
